Meeting report: animal health in the post genomics era
by
Dr Claire Morgan
on Mon 22 Jan 2007 12:56 GMT
The goal of this meeting, held by Euroscicon, was to enlarge the knowledge about host-pathogen interactions in agricultural species, because it gives us a realistic opportunity to identify disease resistance genes. Peter Kaiser’s (Head of the Avian Genomics group at the Institute for Animal Health) project aims to identify the molecular components of the immune system that are shared between mammals and birds.The studies try to understand the bird’s immune response (particularly the repertoire of immune response genes and its innate immune response) and identifying disease resistance genes . Once the genes, have been identified the study will focus on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in these genes between different lines of chickens more »

A sample thank you letter that you use after an interview, as a guideline or template, will save you a lot of time when preparing this type of correspondence. Since you’ll prepare it before the job interview when you are not nervous and have a clear head, the letter will really increase your chances of making or reinforcing a good impression. more »

Meeting report: Investigating cellular stress responses - A multidisciplinary approach from basic science to therapeutics
by
Dr Claire Morgan
on Mon 08 Jan 2007 19:41 GMT
The scope of this small pan-European meeting (on 13th October 2006) covered many of the functions of heat shock proteins and was a reminder of how this family of proteins interacts with many biological systems and has far reaching implications in the manipulation of disease processes. Dr Kathy Triantafilou (Sussex, UK) has a long established interest in innate immune recognition of microbial pathogens with particular respect to LPS. Elegant fluorescent non radioactive energy transfer (FRET) studies have been carried out on cells stimulated with LPS which demonstrate the clustering of HSP70 and 90 around TLR4 in lipid rafts. LPS and HSP70 compete for binding to TLR4 and using truncated fragments of HSP70 the critical residues for LPS/HSP binding in the ATP binding cleft were identified. This work was carried out using human HSP70 and demonstrated that the signalling pathways are MyD88 dependent. more »

Glycomics: Challenges and Technologies - a meeting report
by
Dr Claire Morgan
on Tue 02 Jan 2007 18:56 GMT
While in the last few years genomic and proteomic projects advanced uninterruptedly, understanding glycans still presents several difficulties: they have a non-template driven biosynthesis, there is no system for the amplification of carbohydrates, and their characterization is still complicated. Moreover, the glycosylation patterns are complex and carbohydrate homeostasis requires considerable cellular control. Fortunately, Glycomics is advancing: the new technologies developed, the optimized experimental strategies and the Bioinformatics tools are making their move. On November 28, 2006 Euroscicon Conference “Glycomics: Challenges and Technologies” was held in London, and depicted an optimistic view of the advances in the area. more »

Welcome to Mums in Science This site has been designed as a portal for busy mums who work or have worked in science. Too many women leave science due to the constraints of motherhood. Some struggle, and work part time, at the expense of advancing their career. Others change their career to fit in with their children, whilst working within some area of science. Our aims are :-
